“For me and my team the Global Final was an extraordinary week. It was amazing to be there in an incredible country, as The Netherlands, getting to meet people from all over the world and sharing all kinds of new experiences. Thank you, not only for giving us the chance to compete and improve our knowledge, but also for creating an intercultural atmosphere in which we could spend time with different people, making new networks and having a wonderful time. This is the kind of experience that will live in our memories forever, and we hope that you continue doing this, because it nourishes people’s life in every sense.”

“The Global Student Challenge was an amazing experience. The competition was very challenging but we were able to learn a lot of things. During our journey, we met people from different countries with different nationalities and religions but we all share the same opinion about this experience. That this week couldn’t be that wonderful without the organizers who spent all of their time and energy to satisfy everyone.”

“It’s a great feeling to be part of such a multicultural event where we participated with teams from 19 different countries. The learning and networking in such a multicultural and diverse environment are phenomenal. The experience of the visiting to Rotterdam where we saw one of the most technologically advanced logistic port was fantabulous. We as students want to experience different things and Global Student Challenge teaches us the intricacies of the financial supply chain in a volatile market and this learning will definitely be helping us in life.”
